Updating previous reports, San Francisco 49ers PK Phil Dawson received a two-year, $6.134 million deal with a $2 million signing bonus. He receives $3 million in the first year and can earn $25,000 in incentives each year.

It is not likely the San Francisco 49ers will use the franchise tag on K Phil Dawson. Dawson was tagged twice before by the Cleveland Browns in 2011 and 2012, and under NFL rules a player tagged for a third time is entitled to a quarterback franchise tender. That could send his salary upwards of $16 million.

San Francisco 49ers K Phil Dawson excelled this season after 13 years with the Cleveland Browns and told reporters he "absolutely" wants to return rather than leave as a free agent. "I'm sure that's coming down the chute here, but we'll wait and see what happens," said Dawson, who made 32-of-36 field-goal attempts in the regular season and all six attempts in the playoffs.

The 49-yard field goal by San Francisco 49ers K Phil Dawson in the first quarter Sunday, Jan. 12 against the Carolina Panthers is the longest in franchise postseason history. Dawson eclipsed the mark set by Wade Richey on Jan. 3, 1999, against the Packers. Dawson is 6-for-6 on field-goal attempts so far in the playoffs and 38-of-42 overall this season, his first with the 49ers. Dawson, 5-foot-11 and 200 pounds, is in his 15th NFL season.

San Francisco 49ers PK Phil Dawson extended his franchise-record streak to 24 made field field goals in Week 15, and head coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday, Dec. 16, he is hopeful Dawson will return in 2014. "Let me do that right now, 'Phil, stay beyond this season'," Harbaugh said when asked by reporters. "I've been remiss in asking him to do that. Let me officially ask him to stay beyond this season. Absolutely, I'm glad you brought it up, 24 straight field goals. He has been a top-notch guy, too, on the team from the day he got here. Pay the man."

Fantasy Tip: Dawson has been a good kicker for a number of years, but playing in Cleveland for his entire career held down his fantasy appeal. Playing on a contender with a strong offense, Dawson will be a must-start fantasy option.
